Washington D.C. Water and Sewage Authority is planning to construct a new anaerobic digestion facility at its Blue Plains WWTP by 2008. The research conducted in this study is to aid the designers of this facility by ...

<p> Cellulose to lignin ratio is one of the widely used indicators of degree of landfill stabilization. This ratio shows the amount of carbohydrate or cellulose consumed by anaerobes compared to relatively inert lignin. ...

<p> The performance and stability of a thermophilic anaerobic digestion system are inherently
dependent on the engineered environment within each reactor. While the selection of operational
parameters such as mixing, solids ...

Anaerobic digestion of wastewater sludge has widely been in application for stabilization
of sludge. With the increase in hauling cost and many environmental and health concerns
regarding land application of biosolids, ...

Anaerobic digestion has been the preferred method for reducing and stabilizing waste sludge from biological wastewater treatment for over a century; however, as sludge volumes and disposal costs increase, there has been a ...

Anaerobic digestion is widely used for stabilization of solids in sewage sludges. Recent changes in the priorities and goals of digestion processes are focusing more attention on the efficiency of these processes. Increasing ...

A groundwater monitoring study was conducted as part of a comprehensive program to remediate a former wood-preserving site that was contaminated with creosote. Twenty-five multi-level samplers (MLSs) were installed on-site ...
